FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of a chained purse wallet 100 in an open position, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

The chained purse wallet 100 may include a bifold 110, a snap fastener 120, an accordion pocket 130, a plurality of card slots 140 and an attachment chain 150.

The bifold 110 may include a first portion 110A and a second portion 1108. The snap fastener 120 may include a protruding snap tab 122 and a snap tab aperture 124. The protruding snap tab 122 may be attached on a front facing 1128 of the second portion 1108 and the snap tab aperture 124 may be attached to an outer edge 112A of the first portion 110A. The protruding snap tab 122 may be coupled to the snap tab aperture 124 to secure the bifold 110 in a closed position. The accordion pocket 130 may expand the first portion 110A of the bifold 110 and contain more items. The card slots 140 may be disposed on the front facing 1128 of the second portion 1108 to store and hold a plurality of cards (not shown) such as credit cards, government documents such as a driver's license and other suitable planar cards. The attachment chain 150 may be attached to an edge 110C′ of a fold portion 110C of the bifold 110 between the first portion 110A and the second portion 1108. A ring 152 may be inserted through an aperture 154 disposed above the edge 110C′ of a fold portion 110C of the bifold 110 and attached to a first end 150A of the attachment chain 150. The ring 152 may be made of metal or other suitable material. A C-clasp 156 may be disposed on a second end 150B of the attachment chain 150 that may be utilized to couple the chained purse wallet 100 to a purse (not shown) or other suitable object to prevent the chained purse wallet 100 from being lost. Sometimes the purse may not have enough space or be able to allow the C-clasp 156 to be attached to the purse.

FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of a chained purse wallet 100 in a closed position, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

The attachment chain 150 may be approximately six inches in length to provide enough attachment chain 150 to comfortably secure the chained purse wallet 100 without the chained purse wallet 100 being cumbersome. This is in contrast to the attachment chain 150 having an approximate length of four inches, which makes the attachment chain 150 more cumbersome. The attachment chain 150 may be made of metal or other suitable material.

FIG. 3 illustrates a front view of a chained purse wallet 100 and a rear view of a chained purse wallet 100, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

The front view of the chained purse wallet 100 may include a transparent pocket slot 160. The transparent pocket slot 160 may be disposed on a front facing 112A of the first portion 110A to view any planar object (not shown) contained in the transparent pocket slot 160. The transparent pocket slot 160 may include a slot opening 162 that any planar object may be inserted through to place into the transparent pocket slot 160.

The rear view of the chained purse wallet 100 may have no pockets and is a smooth planar surface.

FIG. 4 illustrates a side view of a safety pin fastener 170, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

A safety pin fastener 170 may be utilized to couple the chained purse wallet 100 to the purse to facilitate removal of the chained purse wallet 100 to the purse in contrast to the C-clasp (FIG. 3, 156), which is more difficult to remove. The safety pin fastener 158 may also be utilized to couple the chained purse wallet 100 to the purse at more locations on the purse. The C-clasp 156 is preferred, but some purses are not capable of accommodating the C-clasp 156 attached to them.

The safety pin fastener 170 may include a body portion 172 and a brain portion 174.

The body portion 172 may be positioned on a first end 170A of the safety pin fastener 170. The attachment chain 150 may be coupled to the first end 170A of the safety pin fastener 170. The brain portion 174 may be positioned on a second end 1708 of the safety pin fastener 170. The brain portion 174 may receive the body portion 172 by depressing the body portion 172 underneath the brain portion 174 and allowing the body portion 172 to put pressure within the brain portion 174 thereby securing the body portion 172 within the brain portion 174. The body portion 172 may be released by depressing on the secured body portion 172 within the brain portion 174 and allowing the body portion 172 to maneuver out of the brain portion 174 and spring above the brain portion 174.
